Wealthy investors and scientists meet at Gstaad longevity conference

The Longevity Investors Conference brought wealthy guests and scientists to Gstaad in Switzerland.

Attendance was by invitation, and guests had to manage at least 30 million euros in assets.

The conference focused on extending healthy lifespans and fighting serious diseases, against a backdrop of ageing populations and pressure on health and pension systems.

Longevity researcher Nir Barzilai said scientific work was already producing results, including four medicines approved by the US Food and Drug Administration that he said could meaningfully reverse ageing.

SpacePharma described using small, automated laboratories in space to speed up studies of ageing and disease.

Maxwell Biosciences said it was working on broad treatments to defend against pathogens with pandemic potential.

Over the following three days, speakers were due to discuss research, treatments and ambitious projects related to longevity.
